Lake Como is famous for its villas, gardens and lakeside villages such as Bellagio, Varenna and Tremezzo. Life here happens on boats, on scenic trails and at tables on the terraces.
Not to be missed
- Bellagio, the “pearl of the lake”
- Villa del Balbianello and Villa Carlotta with their gardens
- A ride in a classic wooden motorboat
- The Sentiero del Viandante and the walks above Varenna
- A scenic seaplane flight from Como
Practical tips
- Ferries link the villages: a day ticket pays off if you make several stops.
- Some villas open only on certain days: check first.
- Lakeside roads are narrow: ferries, bikes or taxi boats are better.
When to go
April to October; in spring the gardens are in bloom.
